Sit tibi terra gravis: Sepolture anomale tra eta medievale e moderna (häftad, ita)

Between 2014 and 2015 in the excavations of the church of San Calocero in Albenga (Savona - Italy) two burials of young post-medieval women with particular and anomalous characteristics were brought to light. The first inhumation was prone and placed in a deep grave isolated from the cemetery; the second had partially burnt bone remains and was covered by an accumulation of large stones.

The find immediately had a vast international echo, which already during the excavation led to the organization of a first in-depth scientific meeting.
